  • 13 attempts on fierce heraldic

    i succeed with a 213 skill(+5% gearlock)
    1/1 on legs
    1/9 on helm
    1/3 on vembraces

    then i went out of temper
    farming essence of sunlight at the moment to make 2 bracers, boots and gaunts

    am i lucky or these are bad success rates?
    thx

    I refused to even try it until I had 242 unadjusted - I was a little paranoid.
    A friend is 230ish + 5% and has had a very decent success rate.

    It will go in spurts. There are good days and bad days. I have failed 8 pairs of boots in a row at 250 - and have made 14 pieces in a row, including 3 BPs.

      At the high skill-end, I think the RNG is of greater influence than skill actually, since this stuff never trivials. Under that premise, I have made combines as early as 207 skills (+5% making 217), with varying degrees of success. Some people call me crazy for wasting materials; I don't care, I am happy with the stuff I make, especially when I beat the odds.

              My experiences, which reflect yours, are that over 210 raw skill with a geerlok will get you around 25% success on cultural combines, even though you'll have some bad runs.

                I admire your courage, but I think you are a little bit crazy.

                Unless of course you are offloading your finished product, and being able to cover your costs ?

                I will be waiting until 230 Smithing myself, before attempting any..

                  someone ordered me a full visible suit(minus BP)
                  so i put myself on work with my 213 raw skill
                  i sell 1 ring items 8k, 2 ring ones 10k and 3ring ones 12k, it covers all my exepenses(i buy BD 260pp at vendors and my customer is farming essence for me coz i had only 31 essence of sunlight and it was not enough to make the full suit)

                  i just want to finish my smith carear on a a beautiful manner
                  i will stop blacksmithing after that, it takes too much play time
